Cornelis Schuyt

Okay, here's a bio for Cornelis Schuyt based on my knowledge:

Cornelis Schuyt (1557-1616) was a Dutch composer, organist, and carillonneur of the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. He was a pretty big deal in his day, holding the position of city organist in Haarlem for over 30 years! Schuyt's music shows a real mastery of counterpoint and a flair for combining different national styles.

He's known for his vocal works, especially his madrigals, which are full of Italian influence. But he also wrote plenty of instrumental pieces, like paduanas and galliards, which were popular dance forms at the time. His music gives us a cool glimpse into the musical tastes of the Netherlands during a time of big changes in music history.
